Banana stem waste is a source of lignocellulose biomass with high cellulose content and abundant availability in Indonesia. In this study will investigate the kinetics of delignification of banana stems given alkaline pretreatment and alkaline microwave-assisted. Banana stem waste is given preliminary treatment with the help of alkaline and microwave alkaline so that lignin levels contained in …
Massive infrastructure development causes a lack of water supply areas in several places so that innovation is needed, namely pervious concrete. The material commonly used in pervious concrete is concrete without fine aggregate, namely coarse aggregate of uniform size, cement and water.CO2 emissionsby resulting from the production of cement for binding concrete mixes. Therefore, an alternative …
A lithium ion battery is a rechargeable battery and moves from the negative to the positive electrode when discharged. In the lithium ion battery component there is an electrode section. This section serves as a place to store energy and a place for chemical reactions to occur. The use of carbon from natural sources such as biological sources and industrial waste has been widely used by previou…
Tembesu (Fagraea fragrans Roxb) are widely grown in the Ogan Ilir area, South Sumatra. Tembesu fruit is a plant that contains alkaloid compounds and has many benefits as herbal medicine. This research aims to identify the alkaloid compounds contained in the tembesu fruit and the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Alkaloids are known as orga…
This research is about molasses fermentation to produce ethanol with yeast isolate from coconut water which is immobilized on calcium alginate. Molasses has a high sugar content so it is very good to be used as a fermentation substrate. Fermentation was carried out directly by using yeast isolate immobilized on calcium alginate where the yeast isolate added to the immobilizing gel was the same …
Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) resistance test with Pt-Ru/C catalysts on multi stack Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) have been carried out. Manufacture of electrodes with Pt-Ru/C catalysts with the method of Spraying. The electrode are made and chactarized using Cyclic Voltametry (CV) to determine the catalytic activity of the electrode based on the value Electrochemical Surface Area (ECSA)…
The research on photodegradation of congo red dye using MgFe2O4 nanomagnetic has been done. MgFe2O4 nanomagnetic, Mg(NO3)2.6H2O and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O with mole ratio (2:1) were synthesized using coprecipitation method. The success of MgFe2O4 synthesis were characterized using XRD, UV-VIS DRS, SEM-EDX, VSM and FTIR. The photodegradation process of congo red variables including the effect of concentr…
A research has been done about preparation and characterization of alkaline fuel cell (AFC) electrode resulted from electrodeposition of platinum (Pt) and chromium (Cr) calalyst on backing layer carbon (C). The first step of this research was to make of backing layer from carbon and teflon emulsion and then analyzed conductivity of backing layer before and after the electrodeposition process. A…
